Foglight adjustment

[sauman]

Ngayong panahon ng tag-ulan mas madalas kong ginagamit ngayon yung foglights. Paano ba ang tama or proper way na pag-focus ng foglights?

1. foglight beam is below or ka-level ng headlights pag naka-dim
2. foglight beam is above ng headlight pag naka-dim but below sa headlight pag naka-bright
3 foglight beam ay ka-level or higher ng headlight na naka-bright

Right now ang focus ng foglights ko ay yung sa no. 1 ka-level ng headlights pag naka dim. Is this the proper way?

The foglamps should illuminate the road immediately in front of the front bumper. Low and wide dapat ito since a foglamp's job is to go under the fog instead of bounce of it as your regular or high beam headlamps would if you were to encounter thick fog.

sauman::: First question to ask is what kind of beam does your foglight has? Is it a spot beam pattern or driving beam? Second is, where is it mounted? At level grade with your headlights or bumper lines? Third is, what is it's maion purpose? To aid to while city driving or to aid while driving along dark-lit highways?

What I usually do is align it farther away than my current headlight adjustments. So that vision 500m away from my windshield is still clear. Btw, my auxiliary lights are configured to a spot beam which I can adjust to driving beam when the need arises.

Ungas, yung fodlight na nakakabit sa sasakyan ko ay yung Oem na foglights mounted ito below sa headlights sa puwang sa bumper mismo. Whats the diff. ba between driving beam at spot beam? yung beam kasi nung foglight ko ay pareho lang ang kalat ng ilaw ng headlight ko. Dati naka beam yung foglight sa road mismo (medyo nakayuko) so ang ginawa ko inadjust ko ito medyo pataas na ka-level ng headlight para mas malayo ang beam niya (pang supplement na ilaw pag sobrang dilim ng kalye or kapal ng usok tulad sa Edsa). Hindi naman ako madalas pumunta sa foggy na lugar tulad ng tagaytay so pang city driving lang purpose ko ng foglights. thnx

sauman::: OEM fitted lights are driving beam patterns. Pakalat ito like OTEP said. Our van has setting number 2 on your first post. Gitna sya ng dim and bright mode ng original headlights. Malayo sya kesa sa dim mode pero mas malapit naman compare to bright mode. :D

thnx sa explanation dre. :D

sa akin parang ganun sa setting 2. Atleast di sya nakakasilaw tapos mas malayo yung bato ng ilaw. It helps when I drive back home in pangasinan lalo na sa mga lugar na la masyado ilaw.

Since driving lights sya I think ok nga yung setting 2.

Just wana revive this topic. Where can you buy good foglights for a sentra? What brand kaya ok? iba iba price sa labas kasi guys. Pang rainy season.:D

[OTEP]

Which Sentra? My brother is using Exalta driving lamps on his B14 151.

[sauman]

sa mga series 3 na unang labas ang mga nakikita kong foglights na nakakabit sa mga ito ay yung sakto dun sa dalawang puwang sa bumper yung medyo palapad similar ito dun sa para sa mga unang labas na corolla GLi dati, alam ko merong mga ganitong type sa banawe ie. (Autoflex) made in taiwan nga lang yung mga ganito.

bubutas pa ata sila sa bumper para ma kabit foglights. Parang mas ok yung circle na kesa sa oblong type.;)
